The Gay-Hoyt House

The Gay-Hoyt House, owned and administered by the Sharon Historical Society, is open free of charge during regular hours to the public. Tours of the house are self-guided. Collections include American furniture from colonial to colonial revival; decorative arts, iron and iron-industry related artifacts, five portraits by folk artist Ammi Phillips, a library featuring a collection of CT history and decorative arts resources and archives/photo collection.

In addition to our collections, the Gay-Hoyt House engages our visitors and promotes our mission to connect people to the town of Sharon, its history and its culture via a History Discovery Room for students, an Art Exhibit Hall for local artists, and an Internet Access/Reading Room Cafe which is available to the public Tuesday through Friday, 1 - 4 p.m. and by appointment.
